April was a wild ride. We attended Jason Della Rocca’s full day Masterclass on the Business of Game Development—then met with him the next day to discuss our studio and project plans. The feedback we got completely shifted our direction and strategy. Another piece of the What’s The Plan puzzle clicked into place.

In hindsight, this pivot feels inevitable-- it's what we've always wanted to pursue, but held off on for more practical reasons. This new direction aligns with something I'm personally very passionate about and have always been excited to explore: building social hubs where play emerges organically—spaces that feel alive, where players create their own fun.

To me, game development is ultimately about crafting sandboxes, whether or not a game is made to appear that way. We design the rules, limits, and systems; players explore them.

If this sounds vague— what will players actually do here? Where’s the gameplay?— The answer -- play minigames together! I love minigames, and as a developer nothing excites me more than the idea of creating a suite of them, each with our own special What's The Plan flavor and spin.

So... What's The Plan?

Finish and ship Snowglobe --we're scoping this down.
Shift focus to a larger, more ambitious project, which incorporates many of our original (game) project plans -- but do this in all in a scalable manner. We're planning to make this experience available as soon as possible, so we can craft on-the-go with a live (early-access) player-base. More details to come soon!
